An adapter is needed to connect to EOS, available most anywhere. The Bower 500 MM lens is not a zoom lens. It is preset to the 500MM focal length. I believe the minimum focal distance is 32 ft.

Unfamiliar with your camera size, however, if it's same or smaller than my Cannon EOS, than it will fit. If you will be putting only your camera with the factory lens, you will have limited extra storage, however with a zoom, you will have no space & will need an extra bag or back pack to carry your accessories. I would say the case isn't water proof but water repellent, also, there is a Velcro compartment in the back of the case that has a pull out cover which I think why the manufacturer is making its waterproof claim. Overall, for the dollar amount, if your carrying only your camera, with minimal accessories, it's well worthed.

The description says that the lens will fit the D40X soooo, I would expect that the lens will fit the D40X because the description says it will. Did you read the description? It has some excellent information about what cameras this lens will fit .

Hello ESMA, I use this for my Canon T1i which fits it. The 40D is a bit bigger but I don't see any reason why it won't fit, especially since the area where the camera is placed can be adjusted. Hope this helps!

Yes it fits just fine. As I stated in my review, I disassembled it to remove the plastic lens. As others had stated, this causes distortion. It was fairly easy to remove the lens with just a small jewelers type Phillips head driver and then reassemble. This results in an empty hole in which to view through which looks a bit odd but gives a perfect distortion free view after you've adjusted the diopter. I only get small smudges on the screen now; you might not get any.

It fits d40, but the autofocus will not work. This is probably not the best lens for your camera.

One thing I can say is that it fits my t3i, and it also fits my old Canon film cameras, the AT-1 and the Canon AE Program. That's a full frame camera you've got there, so I can't say for sure, but I would be surprised if all Canon DSLRs didn't have the same size eyepiece. Especially since it fits the eyepiece slots on my 39 year old and 31 year old Canon 35mm film cameras. One other thing you might like to know is that with that eyecup attached it is in the way of the articulated display on the T3i. When I swing the display out I have to hold up the bottom of the rubber part or else just slip it off. Same with closing the display too of course. I don't know the dimensions of the 70D so I can't say if that might be an issue with you too. Even so, it's such a trivial matter calling it an issue is a stretch. Buy it and enjoy. Oh! One other thing related to the viewfinder you might want to consider buying if you don't already have it is an extension that extends the eyepiece out about 3/8 of and inch or so. It makes it a lot easier to belly up to the bar as it were and acquire an image, especially if you wear glasses. Sorry for the mixed metaphor. :D

Bought this for wife's Rebel EOS Ti Canon and it works as is. There is a tripod mount on this lens just behind the large black band toward the camera that balances it well when on her tripod, and it's mount is a perfect fit right from the lens to the camera. So far I would say this set up works well, nothing extra needed.

It should be compatible with all Canon mounts. I don't know whether the 40D has IS, so you may want to double-check that before buying. It will still work and might be worth having for future compatibility (I had an IS lens with my 20D for a long time, but wasn't able to use IS until I got my 7D).

I have the Zeikos ZE- 58mm for canon XL2 and it works in good conditions, for I do not know about 40D.

I used a WP1 with a Canon G10. It is about the same width as the TZ40. TZ40 is not as tall. So I think your camera will fit with room to spare. I used my WP1 for snorkeling. Worked well. On a super zoom camera, the lens may touch, so you may have to limit zooming. No big deal. Underwater, the main thing is to point and shoot before the fish swims away! WP1 comes with lens extension tube, so you can either use it or leave the extension tube off. Images were clear. You can't always see the camera's display well underwater, so aim and take plenty of shots. I also bought some waterproof zip bags (thicker than typical zip lock bags) for ID, etc. Everything stayed dry. Have fun. I used a WP1 with a Canon G10. It is about the same width as the TZ40.

I'm a Nikon shooter, so I cannot address your question fully. This lens does come in a Canon mount, but is designed for full frame cameras. If the Canon EOS 40D is not full frame you may be wasting some of the lens's capability and adding unnecessary weight to your kit. I love this lens, however on my full frame cameras.

yes Mine fits great.. althought it doesnt have canon on it like it says it does.. other then that it is great.

Yes. This will fit any EOS with a APS-C crop sensor.So far, I'm in love with this lens. It take real sharp pictures, mostly when stepped down to f4, but at 2.8 it still shines. The OS is a nice feature, but what really stands out in the Macro. Zoomed out to 70mm I can get about 1-2 inches from my subject and the AF snaps into focus quick.

It has 40x optical zoom, I haven't used it extensively, but it was satisfactory.
